Wakulla Springs State Park
There are many activities available at Wakulla Springs State Park! Swim in the Springs - One of the favorite activities is the swimming area, with its two story tower and two sunbathing platforms amid clear, cool spring waters. Walking Trails - abound with over 10 miles of wandering trails through hardwood hammocks, spring floodplains, with a variety of foliage and champion trees, some found only here in their original grandeur. You can view the Sally Ward Spring Run from a foot bridge and see if you can spot a manatee or a gator! River Boat Tour - The River Boat Tour is a favorite among locals and visitors alike. The 45 minute boat tour of the spring and downriver ecosystem is a bird lover's paradise, with a multitude of bird species seen on virtually every trip.
